I agree that AC’s should be 1/1 but still take two hits.  If memory serves correctly.  They had only 50 cal. guns as their only means of defense back in WW2.  Now they have all kinds of fun things to use.  That is why i agree with it being 1/1.  That is why they have planes on AC’s.

Hi Captain!,

I thought of a new idea for you.  You seem like the adventuresome type.  Because you inspired me.  I came up with the idea of board modding.  I thought that it would be cool to implement an small smoke generator underneath the board.  like the ones used in small model trains.  Then use a piping system throughout the board to the typical locations of IC’s underneath the board.  And wala! you have interactive IC’s!  Nothing like seeing smoke coming out your IC!  Now it looks like your IC is actually doing something.  Pretty darned cool if I say so myself.  I vow to try it someday.  Along with the operation paint party!  Also the implementation of led’s would be pretty cool too!

I think its December 22nd.  I remembered just looking for it on a game hobby site and thats when the ship date is.  Sad that the chimps can’t put that on their site.  They must of forgot to give them their bananas.

Thanks for the karma. how do you give out karma? :?

I didn’t know about that.  But everyone perceives everything differently.  Just for the record I am publicly stating that this not a political stance.  Just a point of view.  And not to be construed otherwise.  People should be able to express their views(civilly, which i feel I have done).

Then you know what.  You want to give another AA player a chance to buy it.  Then sell it at a minimal profit.  Like 20 or 30 dollars more.  Then that is giving the chance.  Not at the tune of 200 or 300 dollars more.  That is wrong.  No one should have to pay that much for a board game period.  And if you do you are only in it for the money.  Not for being the gracious one to give another player the chance to get it.  And that is fact.

And by the way. How are you doing any favors to people by making them pay for something 2 to 3 times than the actual price.  That is not doing anyone any favors.  Especially in this economy.

And as side note.  Do you really think the CHIMPS give a darned about us?  They are going to make the number of copies that they initially came up with.  I highly doubt that they will make more.  You all know this.  Their bread and butter is other things.  Yeah they are making money on this.  But look at the lack of advertising.  And the lack luster site they put out for this product.  If they actually gave two hoots about us.  They would of done something long ago in a galaxy far far away.  So yes i feel my point is a good one.  By the way where is the so called reprint on AA50 that we are just getting rumors on.  I say rumors cause I don’t consider it fact until I see it on the company website stating that “yes we are reprinting AA50”.  So ask yourself do the chimps really care about us?  I think not.  All they see is bananas and greed.

I understand your point.  But you are missing my point.  Do you think it is fair, irregardless if I’m right or wrong.  My point was a point of morality not economics.  I am asking you to answer this morally.

Its gonna be hard not to repeat an AA50.  From what little I’ve read in the forums in just this site alone.  A lot of members are saying that you are gonning to or already pre-ordered a few copies of the game.  And judging by what the chimps will do.  They will only produce a limited number of these “deluxe” editions.  It just annoys me (this pertaining to the members of this site that have publicly announced that are purchasing multiple copies) that they will do that.  And that is your prerogative.  Last I checked it is a free enterprise out there with Ebay at your disposal.  But I don’t think its morally right in doing this action.  Those are just my feelings on this situation.  As for me I’ve told my wife that this the one thing I’m implicitly asking for this x-mas.  That will be only copy of AAP40 that I will own.  I feel that every one that is an AA player should be given the “chance” to own one of the these magnificent games.  We all know that that there will be AA players that will miss out on this.  Unless the chimps are feeling that holiday spirit and make more than last go around (which I’m sure they won’t).  So in conclusion.  Everyone that bought (or planning on) multiple copies will read later on that so an so missed out on AAP40.  You should feel that this is not right that you took their opportunity away from them.  Sorry for the long rant.  But I had to pipe up on this issue.  I felt it deemed necessary to speak for people that has this view on this topic.  A wise person once said “do on to others as you would want them to do upon you”.  I know its old fashioned, but its true.  I know I’m not perfect.  But I try to do what is right.  So please ask yourself, do you feel right in doing this.  Not just monetarily speaking.

The magnet idea is very cool.  I’ve thought of doing that idea but haven’t gotten around to modding my AAR set pieces yet.  Has there been any new photo footage of the game pieces?  I can’t wait to see this work of art under my x-mas tree :-D.

Hello, I’ve been playing the AAR now for almost a year now.  I am currently in a game group that’s meets once a month.  I am open to trying other versions of AA (would love to try the AA anniversary ed.!).  I also plan on getting the AAP40 in Dec.  So if you’re interested, please drop me a line.  Look forward to playing new faces! :-D

Speaking of the Europe map.  Does anyone know what the time frame will be when we’ll get our first look at it?

thanks for that info.  I figured it wasn’t going to be out till December.

Does anyone know what the release date is?  I’ve been away from the site for a while.  Boy Christmas is sure coming up fast.

Thanks for the info. I guess I take things for granted living in the states.

Thanks for your replies.  I like the buying strategy.  I will try it out on GTO right now!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions they are good.  The whole idea of the Aussie IC sounded good an all.  But thanks to your post you have shown me the path to enlightenment on a better UK strategy! :-D  The game group I’m in does national advantages, but only one.  I will see if they are game on trying to do it with 2.  I do like thou the idea of colonial garrison in India or buying an IC on the first turn there.  Thanks again everyone

Captain Kiwi, are you familiar with Testors paints?  When I was a kid I use their paints for my plastic models.  I was wondering if that was a good set to use as an economical choice.  Those paints that you were talking about sound expensive.  Thanks again for sharing your lovely art work with us.  Oh by the way I remember seeing someones painted playing somewhere else and they used decals on their big ships.  The AC’s and the BB’s had them I think.  I cant remember where I came across them.  Do you or anyone know where those kind of decals can be obtained?  Thanks

Squire thanks for the pics of AA40P!  When will we get a sneak peak of AA40E?  These maps are huge.  Boy talk about war gaming on a EPIC scale!  I can’t wait till they come out.
